In English

I only play cRPGs and nothing else...but I might sneak a play-through when no one is looking and blame it on educational review purposes only.

Close, Jags.

 

It looks like a graphics whore game that will have little in terms of story development and gameplay. Also I just can't get excited over a console game. Overall it just doesn't look all that impressive to me.

Graphics whore games are the best

I love the smell of smoking GPUs in the morning.

I never got into those japanese zombie games, they're just so senselessly brutal. Unless I can hit my enemies with a sledge hammer or fire axe in melee a'la Condemned, man that makes tons of fun!

Given your desire to hit things with a sledgehammer or fire axe, it seems you've confused "senselessly brutal" with "not nearly brutal enough".

Didn't Dead Rising come out today? Anyone play it yet?

[Nartwak]

It's not out today.

[Hurlshort]

The release date is supposedly August 8th. Personally, I'll wait on a few reviews. August is a busy enough month with Madden and school starting up. Plus, I think Backyard Baseball 07 is coming out on the same day. That's a tough choice.

[Llyranor]

Isn't there a demo on Xbox Live?

[Musopticon?]

Yeah, with a fifteen minute time limit.

 

It has five endings though.

[Hurlshort]

Sweet, I know what I'm doing today.

[Musopticon?]

Report back whether you found the katana or not. :D

[Haitoku]

It looks like it would get boring fast.

I am appalled and enraged.

[Hurlshort]

I thought the concept was rather shallow as well, but there are missions and such that actually affect the story, and not everyone in the mall is a zombie. GTA is based on the same principals, albeit in an entire city, but I never really get bored with that game.

[Nartwak]

[Hurlshort]

I just finished up with the demo, and wow. It's awesome. The thrill of running down zombies with a shopping cart is really unexplainable. I saw 4 of the different demo endings, and they all point to a pretty solid bit of storytelling mixed in with the brutality. I also started getting pretty good at taking pictures. I got a ton of points for putting a few of those plush toy heads above on zombies and snapping shots of them.

 

This is basically a combination of GTA and Resident Evil done really well.

Putting buckets on zombies' heads seemed like the best part in the trailers.

Best part was playing golf. With zombie's heads.

[Meshugger]

Finally a game about t1ts, katanas and zombies. I'll buy it the second i see it at my local mall :D

Hurlshot pretty much confirmed what I thought the game would be like... simply not my cup of tea.

[Atreides]

Damn, those glasses are hot!

 

The interactivity looks quite phenomenal. I'm glad they decided to work on a small area but make it great.

I'm a bit concerned to hear about the time limits in normal play, but it still sounds decent.
